I don't know how to get out...

I wanted to get out of the Google Ecosystem, but its nearly impossible...

I began to think of replacements for everything:

Gmail? Outlook!

YouTube? I'll just download subscribed videos automatically.

GDrive? OneDrive (dropbox too small)

Chrome? Palemoon

Google Music? ...Spotify?

Google Books? Kindle maybe...

Google Search? DuckDuckGo I guess...

Android? Uh...fuck.

Should I bother? Maybe the ecosystem is better and more convenient for me anyway? Help /g/entoomen

YouTube: youtube-dl

GDrive: set up your own sftp server you lazy cunt

Chrome: IceCat

Google Music: Buy real CDs or just pirate it

Android? iOS

- Mail.com + Sylpheed

- Might as well just use a local client to stream, or just install youtube-dl

- There isn't a need for that shit really, just buy a couple of big USBs, or an external HDD

- Pale Moon is good, yes.

- Spotify is now a privacy concern

- Just go look for a free eBook solution, you'll find plenty

- Startpage and ixquick

- If you don't want to use stock Android, go install a compatible Cyanogenmod.

If your smartphone supports it get Cyanogen (but i think microcuck gave them shekels).

GDrive: LibreOffice

Gmail: buy a web domain and route it to your home email server. Then your email address can be literallyAnything@whateveraddr.xxx

Youtube: a script to youtube-dl subscribed videos straight to your NAS, this provides a better service anyway, because you can watch at 1080p 60fps or whatever resolution without any stuttering

Gdrive: NAS

Chrome: firefox, it's better anyway

Google Music: NAS

Google Books: I usually just save ebooks locally on all my devices since they're so small

Search: Duck Duck Go is great, this is the most important of all so a slightly slower search engine is more than worth it

Android: Replicant I suppose, if you have a supported device you could use multirom to run linux directly

Most of the suggestions you're getting are lateral upgrades, to be honest OP
